Vistamar Restaurant & Lounge

I recently visited Vistamar and wanted to share my experience. The ambience and entertainment were fantastic, creating a great atmosphere. However, we encountered a few issues. Our waitress was polite but unfamiliar with the drink menu; I asked for grenadine in my drink, but they added extra juice instead. The food was disappointin. My friend's seafood linguine was filled with imitation crab meat, which wasn't listed on the menu, and she only found one shrimp in it. When we spoke to the manager, he was abrupt and didn't apologize, which was frustrating. My boyfriend and my friend's husband ordered filet mignon but received broccoli instead of the promised asparagus, with no explanation. While we loved the vibe, the service and food quality really impacted our experience. I hope this feedback helps improve things for future guests.

Had a great time - we celebrated my wife's birthday. The food and the Servce was amazing ! I highly recommend this place . Looking forward to going again.

This place is good and beautiful. The table arrangement especially on window side on the inside is amazing. The ambient is great and dress code matches the overall beauty of the place. However, there was a birthday going on and they cranked the music too loud. It was inconvenience to others because we could not hear each other speaking unless we yelled. It was a short while though. All in all, it is a must visit again for dinner date or having fun with friends or family.

The ambience was definitely the highlight of this outing—stylish, comfortable, and a great atmosphere overall. The food, unfortunately, was underwhelming and didn't quite meet expectations. On the positive side, the drinks were well-made and enjoyable. Service was attentive and friendly, but since it was a Tuesday night and the place was nearly empty, it's hard to say how things might feel on a busier evening

Music was so loud I left there horse.. they do not have the menu that was posted. I don't know why I didn't walk out immediately I regret the whole e perince btw I didn't eat as the food was horrible. Three drinks 2 guest 400.00 $ Total dissatisfaction

I have a birthday on Friday 29th Labor Day weekend. It was surprisingly everything I hope for quaint, good food, good music, and beautiful ambience outdoor city.

We had a great time celebrating our nephew's 26th birthday, He enjoyed it. We went for brunch and the food was good service was great. The ambiance and performers were amazing.

It's always a pleasure coming back here. From the food to entertainment, I would choose here every single time. I brought my bestie here for her birthday and she loved it! I love their happy birthday club board lol

Music too loud , my whole table got their food but mine , besides the fact that the food took for ever , i didnt get my food .. apparently the waitress forgot to put my order . Not very pleasant expirience. Dont know if ill be back

Food was fantastic. The service was spectacular. Jasmin and Osiris kept our large group absolutely happy the entire time. Whether it was another lime, a new drink or just coming by to keep the table clean and not cluttered they gave us the best service we could've asked for. This was out family's first time at Vistamar and we will be going back to celebrate again or just to enjoy the music and food.

I have to admit even the Valet service was quick and exactly what you should expect from a place of this caliber.

The only thing I will give you a heads up on is there is music played the whole time. Sometimes a DJ and a show. It can be a bit loud if you aren't expecting it. It was good salsa and bachata. It's definitely a place we will go back to.

Not the Same Anymore

I’ve been coming here since day one, but unfortunately, things have gone downhill. The food wasn’t great — the lobster was clearly frozen, not fresh, and lacked flavor.

The entire place smelled heavily of hookah, and the smoke made it really hard to enjoy the atmosphere — it was cloudy and uncomfortable. Even the entertainment, which used to be a highlight, just wasn’t the same.

Really disappointed this time. I hope they take feedback seriously and bring back the quality and vibe they once had!!

What's sad is I drove from Suffolk Long Island to come back to city island (grew up in the Bronx) to take my mom out for a wonderful bday dinner. What ended up happening was at 2 pm on a Sunday it had blasting music as if we're a loud club, I couldn't hear my own sister inches away from me, my two nephews (4 and 1) were hysterically crying from the noise from the DJ and the irony is two Mickey Mouse/Minnie Mouse mascots were there making it seem kid friendly but the kids weren't enjoying it. The waitress was sweet but said she couldn't get the DJ to turn down the music and couldn't move us to a different table unless it was in the 87 degree heat outdoor section so we had to leave and eventually ended up finding an amazing restaurant nearby to enjoy. Never again.

Had a great Meal... Miguel was a phenomenal server.
